Alex, soon to be campaign aide for Leah Vukmir, who still lives with his parents on his taxpayer funded Mansion, and enjoys taxpayer funded healthcare (Thanks Obamacare), decided his last name gave him unlimited access to everything that the Wisconsin Taxpayers own.

ALex, and a couple friends, decided to take the WI taxpayer owned van to help someone move without permission.

Grand theft is the crime of unlawful taking of another's propertyor money over a statutorily defined value, as distinguished from petty (or petit) theft, in which the value is below the grand theft limit. Some states divide theft into the categories of felony and misdemeanor, rather than grand and petit.It is usually distinguished from embezzlement and false pretenses in that the actual taking of the property is accomplished unlawfully and without the victim's consent, and along with the taking there must be a carrying-off.It is also distinguished from burglary in that the theft does not necessarily involve unlawful breaking and entering.

You forgot an important part of this. After the "incident" executive residence staff had to attend training to review car pool procedures. Alex Walker took the van. No one else. Shouldn't he be the one forced to sit through training?

Sure, the act itself is kind of innocuous and not a big deal. But isn't it telling that someone who was raised by an amoral grifter who has never worked a real job outside politics has an entitled kid who figures he can just take state vehicles for his own use whenever he wants.

And Alex Walker is following in the "family business" of wingnut welfare GOP jobs. Are we surprised that the kid doesn't care much about right vs wrong?
